Osteopathic Treatment Specialist

What is osteopathic treatment?

Osteopathic manipulative treatment offers a highly trained, non-invasive, hands-on approach to restoring health to all of your body systems. Studied techniques are used to work with the connection between your bones, muscles, and nerves, focusing on the body working as a whole unit. 

The team at Stephen Renzi Medical PC looks for the root cause of your issue and then analyzes how it might affect other parts of your body. As your provider applies controlled pressure to specific areas, your blood and lymphatic fluids begin to flow and move around, which can begin the healing process in the malfunctioning parts of your body.

Osteopathic treatment can diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and illness. It can also be used as a complementary therapy to conventional treatments.

The gentleness of the therapy makes it safe for almost anyone, including infants, pregnant women, and those struggling with osteoporosis.

How does osteopathic treatment work?

During your treatment, your trained specialist gently massages your joints and muscles, slowly manipulating their movement to promote healing and ease pain. The therapy can also improve your mobility.

It can be used to complement your medications or help reduce your need for them. In many cases, it can prevent your need for surgical intervention.
